How did patronage contribute to government incompetence and fraud

Social Studies
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Patronage, or spoils system, allowed people to work on jobs they were not qualified for.</u> The misuse of influence gave jobs to friends and family instead of skilled workers, which contributed to government incompetence and fraud. It wasn't until 1883 that the Pendleton Act put the patronage system to an end and a merit-based system was established.

Luis has a bad day and scores poorly on an exam. The teacher views him as lazy and unintelligent and pays only negative attentio
Elanso [62]

Answer:     Self fulfilling prophecy

Explanation:  Due to the fact that Luis did poorly in the exam, which gave the teacher the impression that Luis was lazy and unintelligent. According to Symbolic interactionists, every grade or behaviour indicates how one should be assessed, in this case Luis, thus labelling individual students. Lewis was labelled as lazy and unintelligent because of bad exam here.

After that, the teacher started paying only negative attention to Louis, he saw him as lazy, so he judged his behaviour as lazy, and saw him as unintelligent, based on the grade on the exam.

Based on the teacher's negative attention to Luis, Lewis begins to lose interest in school, which is self fulfilling prophecy. When a person, student, or event is expected to do something concrete, say, something as bad as in this case, then it is most likely that that person or student will "fulfil prophetic expectations" and begin to behave in a bad way.
